Is their a control that I can adjust the touch sensitivity?

Maybe I drink to much coffee but a "flick" that wouldn't ruffle the fur on a flea sends me to places I don't want to be.

I like Swype but sometimes a mere sentence or password can be a chore.

Ps This phone is great!!

:cool::cool:
[Droid X General] Izord:
I haven't seen a sensitivity adjustment.

But just a suggestion, Maybe try a screen protector?

I like the sensitivity myself and don't use a protector.
[Droid X General] scooler:
Coming from a resistive touchscreen to the dx makes it seem very sensitive to me, but I'm not sure if it objectively is or not.
[Droid X General] evulhotdog:
It is sensitive but not overly sensitive. That is for sure.
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
Same exact thing for me.just finally getting used to it coming from a resistive.

[HTC Aria General] kevina90:
I`m sorry for being a noob but how do I get into clockwork? I`m already rooted.
[HTC Aria General] oahceasgnikgneas:
Power off your phone while it is plugged into the micro usb cable and the charger or your computer.
[HTC Aria General] tshooter91:
I read somewhere that the above method causes "unstable" results.

I hold down the down volume button while I turn the phone on.
[HTC Aria General] oahceasgnikgneas:
It probably does. It's just the method that I employed the few times I went into clockwork.

Moral of the story, read up on the proper method and utilize that if you aren't a lazy bastard like I am.
[HTC Aria General] Thundervore:
You can also install Rom Manager from the market and that have an option to reboot into clockwork recovery. I use it all the time, you can also do backups and restore from inside ROM manager too.
[Streak 5 General] sottyc:
I got better keyboard so I could portrait short keyboard with T9 basically like a old Nokia..

But its rubbish, when you come to a word like apple or anything with two of the same letters from each of the keys you have to slow down and wait for a while then press the key again otherwise it just doesnt know what you are on about..

Is there any T9 short keyboards that work like normal ones for the streak?

(dont say swype I already have it and love it in landscape but I need something I can tap in fast texts in portrait)

Any solution......
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
No solution....
[Windows Mobile] ai6908:
Well you can try this cab. But I think it disables the wait cursor.

There is no real way to disable it without loosing some other functionality.
[Windows Mobile] shafizal:
thanks bro it works great but it messed up with some taskbar ...any way thanks for the cab it works

When I used WM6.5.5, I was disabling notification bar using DestroyWindow.

In atttachment: very little app that destroys notification bar. Not tested, but this code worked in my another project.

[Vibrant Accessories] theMODEL22:
Has anyone found an armband for the vibrant yet? I am thinking about giving this one a run but i'm not sure yet

http://bit.ly/aFqcFy
[Vibrant Accessories] Satertek:
It won't be a snug fit as the Vibrant is so thin, but it'll definitely fit. Looks nice, considering getting one for myself (wonder if there is velcro or a zipper to ensure it doesn't fall out, I hate it when they only show one angle...)

Edit:

There's an iPhone one on Amazon with the exact same dimensions, bet it's the same thing, and free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/iArmbands-iPh...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1279489127&sr=1-3

Will keep looking later, the dimensions of the Vibrant are pretty much exactly that of an iPhone 3GS, so anything for it should fit just fine. Might stop by Walmart and see if they've got anything. (Might need to cut out a headphone jack though as it looks like the Vibrant's is slightly shifted in)

Edit2: Ended up buying this at Target. It's a really tight fit, and there's no space for the USB plug without cutting the case, but I won't be needing it there anyway. I wouldn't recommend it as the 4 touch buttons at the bottom don't fit in very well, but it'll work for me.
[Vibrant Accessories] theMODEL22:
Thanks I'm swinging by target tomorrow to check it out

I appreciate the work!
[Vibrant Accessories] Janis:
I got the Belkin one at Target. It was tight at first, but now it works really well.

Howdy.

I moved from a Treo pro to a Droid X, and I can now see 3 times fewer SMS messages. What?

Is there any way to get rid of these silly bubbles around text messages? I want it to look like IRC, essentially, or windows mobile sms. The google talk app seems to do it right.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dsMA:
unless all your contact have your google voice number using google voice prob isnt the way to go simce the message they recieve will show up from the google voice number.

you can try handcent. i think the bubbles look b4st but you can go to settings, custom style, bubble settings, conversation style, android and will give you a list view with a line between speakers
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akapoor:
Agreed. HandCent is quite the SMS app. You can customize it how you see fit, from button colors to viewable content.

[QUOTEunless all your contact have your google voice number using google voice prob isnt the way to go [/QUOTE]

I don't think the OP means that he uses GVoice, but the Google "Talk" app (Gtalk). He/she favors the Gtalk layout over other SMS apps, afaik.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
i am following the instructions here: http://forum.androidcentral.com/hacking/23398-htc-evo-4g-unrevoked-3-rooting-instructions.html

and on step 3 i go to the page(look at the download below) they tell me to and do this

On EVO 4G, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.

and when i do the first part of that sentence it goes like pc(some numbers) not found a couple times .. i dont get it do i need to have some files on my sd card?? very confused please helpp
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJDuckett:
No. the phone is jsut checking to make sure that you don't have a rom on there for it to update the system with. It does it everytime you do the Volume down boot up.

As it says, just wait for it to get done scanning for any roms, and, after that, it'll bring up an options menu, as I'm sure you can see. Select Hboot USB by scrolling to it and pressing the power key, and it will connect to your computer.

... just follow the directions straight out. You're confusing yourself by going outside of the directions and worrying about things that they say nothing about.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crossrocker:
Alright thank you. And also my phone doesn't show up on the exe I did the drivers and set it to charge and enabled debugging
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonkingit:
HTC Desire Unrevoked3

I'm confused!!

I've followed all the instructions and have successfully installed the drivers.

I reboot my Desire normally and connect to my PC. Then run the unrevoke3 exe. All the app tells me is "Pushing recovery image".

It just sits there, nothing else happens.

I have tried setting to charge only and to disk mode, both with debugging on, and still nothing.

The other thing I'm looking for is a Telstra rooted rom for the 8183. None of the roms I find seem to be compatible.

Please help!!

I tried this and all GPS and compass issues are now fixed. GPS locks on accurately in just a few seconds.

***This fix may not work if you live outside of USA.***

##You can play with the settings if you want to. If you FUBAR your GPS a simple factory reset will return your setting to default. You can do this without going into recovery buy going to Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset.##

Edit:

***************************************************************

Tested Procedure:

1 - Disable "Use Wireless Networks" - Settings / Location & Security

2 - Dial *#*#1472365#*#*

3 - Under "Application settings" Change "Operation Mode" to MS Based

4 - Under "SUPL/CP Settings" Change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276 [ Do not use www. in front of supl]

5 - REBOOT

6 - Turn back on the "User Wireless Networks"

Optional New Fix:

1 - Dial *#*#1472365#*#*

2 - Go outside to get an unimpeded GPS fix.

3 - Choose Delete GPS Data button.

4 - Choose Get Position Test button. Let it run for 3 min or until you have 10 to 12 Sat locks and back out.

Thanks goes to Onlyloki for this method.

You may want to do this in conjunction with the first procedure and then do the optional if the first procedure did not work for you. I did both and my GPS is locking even faster. Let me know what you think...

Just some more info I dug up:

Quote from http://www.vzwdevelopers.com/aims/public/menu/lbs/LBSFAQ.jsp

"In MS-Based mode, the network provides the satellite information to the device, based on a rough estimate of where the device is located, and the device acquires the GPS signals from the satellites and calculates its location. After the initial fix, the device operates like an autonomous GPS receiver, until the satellite information must be refreshed, at which time the device goes back to the network to update the satellite information. MS-Based mode is appropriate for applications that require the device location to be updated rapidly, such as a navigation application. Can the GPS work in autonomous mode? No, the GPS receiver requires the assistance of the network elements to acquire its initial location fix."

With the rapid updating we could see an increased drain on the battery. I have not confirmed that yet. If anyone can let us know.

Edit #2:

I was informed by a sales rep at T-Mobile that Samsung is aware of the issue and is going to fix the GPS and the compass issue in their first update.

Also check out a compass app and skymap are they throwing you all over?

[Vibrant Android Development] Bigshow281:
This is a shining example of what makes it great to be an Android phone owner, the outstanding community support that XDA has is second to none in my opinion, even to carrier/vendor support. My Vibrant should be arriving Tuesday or Wednesday (can't wait). I used to have Sapphire, then switched to the HD2 because I'm bound to T-Mobile and Windows Mobile was more horrible than I could have imagined. I can't wait to see CM6 with Froyo on the Vibrant...makes my mouth water thinking about it. Thanks again for the great work.
[Vibrant Android Development] diaa08:
compass and skymap ARE acting strange... guess the nav was working because i happened to get a quick gps fix? i'll choose to believe that over the possibility i could have jinxed myself by saying i had no problems... :p

i have noticed that the battery drain is much higher (like abnormaly so) if you have the gps toggled on through tw and have something like beautiful widgets on...
[Vibrant Android Development] diaa08:
would something like the QuickGPS app on HD2 solve some of these problems? anyone familiar with that app and what it does?
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
I did this *fix* and it killed my GPS.

so, I have reverted back to normal.
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
I noticed I'm getting a much better GPS lock in maps. The problem with skymap appears to be unrelated to GPS and appears to be something with the compass. On my G1, it tracked as I turned it with fairly precise accuracy. With the vibrant, it has a 5-6 second delay on tracking movement on the horizontal (up and down tracking in near perfect). However, the compass app seems to function just fine in that regard, oddly enough.
[Vibrant Android Development] unxconformed:
Same here. The compass was not affected by this fix, it is still acting like garbage.

The GPS does lock faster now, but before this it was working reasonably.
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
I will remove compass fix from my title. I saw an improvement but can not prove this fix will correct the compass issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] BradBot:
Thought I'd chime in here.

With the default settings my GPS and compass seemed to be working fine, but I thought I'd check these new settings out. I have since reverted back to the original settings b/c the change actually made my GPS less accurate and my compass seemed to get a little funky.

GPS: Original settings is showing my exact location; down to the actual room in the house. New settings I wasn't even on the correct street!:p

Compass: Original settings in Skymap the compass is steady. Once it finds it self it sits there. New settings the map was rotating without me moving.

Figured this would be helpful to those out there who's GPS/compass seems to be working fine with the stock settings!
[Vibrant Android Development] TGA_Gunnman:
Just out of curiosity what are your original settings set to?

tried the access code fix for gps and just tried testing the results. using google latitude, it shows my wifes phone at our house and I am sitting no more than 5 feet from her and it shows me a little over a mile away. took about 3 minutes to lock on a position...

Not a deal breaker for me, but it does suck that a GPS fix isn't out yet
[Vibrant Android Development] jmattp:
Is that the only application you tested it with? Google Latitude never updated fast on my Droid, Droid Eris, or my wife's Eris. We gave up on it because it was never up to date.

Lock=when your location is found, because you have a "lock" on a GPS sat.

GPS distance reading

The first few days of owning my vibrant it was using agps and could easily track 3 satellites and would tell me my location within 50m or 20m or 10m but most consistently 1500m. But since then on google maps it will not show the accuracy reading. Is anyone else having this issue? Since doing this fix and playing around a bit, i locked onto and was recieving 8 and 9 satellites at above a 30dbhz for more than 5 mintues. Yes this is the truth. I just wish to see my accuracy
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I find a lock always within 5 seconds. I've never had it not find me and fast too... now driving on the freeway it has a hard time tracking but still works... so I guess mine isn't all that bad and I've been using it for like a week now... always finds me, always finds a route in gps, but could be a little more accurate...

I think we need a quick gps app like windows has....

I personally think its a software issue, but I could be wrong I just wish we could find out for sire.. although if not gps is good enough for me.....
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
Well I have to agree with you there. It is a software issue, after tinkering around with my Vibrant and it's GPS (installing Eugenes fix, enabling MS-Based mode, turning off secure socket) the initial fix takes a while but I've got better accuracy on my Vibrant than I do the Nokia Nuron I have here and even the compass on that phone is all over the place.

So right now I'm CERTAIN this can be fixed
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
I'm going to try uegenes fix now... will see how that goes
[Vibrant Android Development] boomerbubba:
@heygrl,

So I understand that you changed the config files with Eugene's edits. Do you have a conceptual understanding of what those config changes are (the values are not intuitive), and how they either overlap or not with the config changes made throught the LbsTest menu?

It looks like the XML change was to correct an omission, which would be fixing a bug. But the other changes look like config changes, setting certain value codes, for aGPS.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
I took a look at the files but not very closely.

I can say with certainty that my GPS is more reliable. It tracks me just as good as the Nuron I have right now.

I have the stock GMaps application

Installed his patch of sorts

Enabled MS-Based Mode

Increased Accuracy to 75

Server is now lbs.geo.t-mobile.com - but I had it on Spirent with the same behavior, don't know if the socket is right but I left it stock

SUPL Secure Socket is off

And that's about it.

The Nuron also only locks on 5-6 sats in the same exact area, and the directional arrow jumps around quite a bit at my house.
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Nothing really changes my GPS. It actually works pretty good for me, It could of course be a little better, but for the once a week or so I use it, it will do me fine. I dont think its as bad as people say, who knows though, maybe Im just lucky. Ive been using gps the last few days and it does pretty good directing me where to go....
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Anyone try a app called gps status?

Running this first then checking maps for a lock seems to help a lot. Even positions me a lot better than if I didn't run the app....

Gps status... try it, get a lock and then try google maps...

Works good for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] kugeln:
It looks like there's still a typo in the Customer.xml where it defines the aGPS settings:

Starting at line 202:
<GPS>
<GPSMode>agps</GPSMode>
<NbAGPS>1</NbAGPS>
<AGPS>
<ServAddr>[B][U][COLOR=black]ibs[/COLOR][/U].geo.t-mobile.com[/B]</ServAddr>
<Port>7275</Port>
</AGPS>
</GPS>

According to previous work by dharvey4651 here, it should be lbs.geo.t-mobile.com.

The ibs.geo.t-mobile.com isn't resolvable through the public internet, nor, I suspect, via T-Mobile's data network. The other uri, lbs.geo.t-mobile.comon the other hand, seems to resolve globally.

I'm not sure if it'll make a difference in the long run, or not, but it's something I noticed while trying to rectify my freeze/black screen/reboot problem with the GPS turned on and a GPS-enabled app running.
[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
:rolleyes:

It takes my compass eight to ten minutes to register a 90 degree change in orientation.

Standing outside with a clear blue sky, over a period of an hour or so, I often can't get more than one satellite to lock.

What was that you were saying again?
[Vibrant Android Development] smashpunks:
Mine works way better than that... ill take yours and others word on it... I think it needs to be addressed soon.
[Vibrant Android Development] heygrl:
There is something seriously wrong with the

software

.

I can open up LBSTestMode, get a fix in under 20 seconds with 5 meters of accuracy and GMaps works properly.

Try to do that in Google Maps and it will constantly scan for sats (of course, from a fresh reboot)

I too see the ibs typo in Eugene's file but this won't change anything.
